Submission + - Mugabe's new surveillance law
3orge writes: Mugabe has signed off on a surveillance law "allowing the security services to intercept postal, internet and telephone communications. The law also establishes a state-run communications monitoring centre. Officials say the new law is meant to provide security and prevent crime but critics say it is aimed at stifling opposition to Mr Mugabe. Both houses of parliament approved the new law in June." Words springing to my mind — US, Bush, "potential for abuse", pot, kettle.
